Cowhide Hair Found In Frozen Mince

Iceland has apologised after a girl found a clump of cowhide hair in a home-cooked lasagne made with a packet of their frozen beef mince.

ITV reports that Trudy Stock, of Gosport, Hampshire, served her daughter, Shani, 7, the dish when she came across the object in her food.

"It's completely traumatised her now. She was in buckets of tears. She was enjoying it until she found that and burst out crying,"she commented.

The supermarket said: "Iceland has apologised to the customer and offered a gesture of goodwill and we will carry out an investigation with our supplier to determine how it happened."

The 29-year-old received £30 in vouchers as an apology.
